Currently I have my hair like Elvis did in Elvis on Tour. I like the look, and the girlfriend likes the look. I just dont have the sideburns though.
Elvis was a trendsetter, IMO with his clothes & hairstyle.
So for the guys, how many of you wore your hair like Elvis of the 50's? Do you have pictures you can share? Does anyone still have an Elvis Do? My oldest brother wore Elvis hair, played Elvis music, he never wore pink, tho, I think he was afraid of my father!
Just pretend, I'm holding you, and whispering things soft and low.
And think of me, how it's gonna be and just pretend I didn't go
Currently I have my hair like Elvis did in Elvis on Tour. I like the look, and the girlfriend likes the look. I just dont have the sideburns though.
"When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was a hero in the movie. So every dream that I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times. I learned very early in life that without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend; without a song. So I keep singing a song." - Elvis Presley
When I had a lot of hair (I'm going prematurely bald) I was able at one point to comb my hair just like Elvis did as seen in my avatar on here.
I wear my hair like Elvis all the time!
I have three different ways that I wear it.
Short (Elvis Army Cut), Medium (Elvis 1960's), Medium-long (Elvis 1950's).
Elvis is The King!
I'd be happy just to have a hair pop up on my chin
"Don't tamper with the property of the U.S. Male"
Oh, you guys are funny! Thanks for those of you who answered & Happy New Year!
Just pretend, I'm holding you, and whispering things soft and low.
And think of me, how it's gonna be and just pretend I didn't go
The only person l know that did there hair like elvis was my dad and he wasn't a big fan like myself.
I like the long hair he had in 1976.If you compare it with the beginning of 1976,it is normal,but in the summer it's really long.I think it looked great too him in that period
I'd like to go to Graceland
My first boyfriend had the Elvis hairdo and kept it until the day he died. It really suited him.
i want hair like elvis in 1969 but dont really know how to style it! any ideas? should i use gel or spray? use a hairdryer? straighten it? how lond does it nedd to be?
1969 july 31st, will we ever see anything?? sob sob!
looks like Elvis had it to just above or around collar length in 1969. Have you asked a barber how to go about getting it to look that way. Take some photos in and chat with them.
If you have thick hair a lot of products won't work, the hair is to heavy for it. My hair just does what it wants and most of the hairdresser say it's cause my hair is to heavy for products to hold it in place.
I think if you get the cut right i don't think you'll need spray or gel. Does anyone know if Elvis used spray on his hair in 1969 doesn't look like it to me.
Let us know how you go

Each leaf is sharply serrated, which is probably why more people don't grow Puya alpestris. Amazingly rabbits find it a delicacy. How do they do it? Jump-and-chew, jump-and-chew? Continue Reading →

The homeowner, a 53-year-old Anniston man, does not live at the residence, Sgt. Chris Sparks said. Sparks said the man discovered a window forced open at a home on the 2100 block of Leighton Avenue.
Two air-conditioning units and an air-handler coil were taken from the home, according to a police report. The items are valued at $9,800, the report stated. An air-condition duct also sustained $300 in damage.
Sparks said the units were stored in the basement of the home. The burglary reportedly happened between March 28 and April 2, the sergeant said.
A suspect will likely face charges of third-degree burglary, a felony. Additional charges could be filed, pending a police investigation, Sparks said Wednesday afternoon.

Shareholder Campaign: Altria Group
Shareholder Campaign: Philip Morris
Philip Morris—the world's largest tobacco company and maker of Marlboro, Virginia Slims, and Parliament, among other brands—continues to subject thousands of animals to cruel and deadly tests that are not required by the U.S. or other governments and that don't predict how humans respond to tobacco products.
2005 Resolution: Eliminate Animal Testing for Tobacco Products
PETA filed a resolution with Altria (Philip Morris USA's parent company) asking that the company cease all use of animals for the testing of tobacco products.
PETA's resolution pointed out that forcing animals to breathe tobacco smoke does not improve our understanding of how cigarettes cause cancer in humans and that countries such as Germany, Sweden, and the United Kingdom have prohibited the testing of tobacco products on animals. We asked Altria to commit to eliminating all further use of animals in the testing of tobacco, tobacco derivatives, and tobacco-related products.
Our resolution garnered more than 31 million votes (more than 2.5 percent of the vote), but unfortunately, it did not pass the hurdle required to reintroduce it the following year.
2006 Resolution: Animal Welfare Policy
PETA filed another resolution to Altria calling on the company to develop and make publicly accessible an animal welfare policy that would include reducing the numbers of animals used and implementing social and behavioral enrichment measures for the animals used both in-house and at contract laboratories.
Altria published our resolution in its proxy materials, along with its opposition statement advising shareholders to vote against it. Our resolution garnered 3.6 percent of the vote (more than 44 million shares), which qualified it to be reintroduced in 2007.
2007 Resolution: Animal Welfare Policy
When PETA refiled the 2006 resolution for Altria's 2007 shareholder meeting, the company again published our resolution in its proxy materials along with its opposition statement advising shareholders to vote against it. Our resolution was brought to a vote and garnered 4 percent of the shares (more than 48 million shares).
2012: More Stock Purchased in Philip Morris
After learning that Philip Morris continues to voluntarily conduct deadly tests in which thousands of rats are stuffed into tiny canisters and have tobacco smoke pumped directly into their noses for six hours a day for 90 consecutive days, PETA bought stock in Philip Morris International in order to attend annual meetings and submit shareholder resolutions calling for an end to a practice that is inhumane and archaic.

Gotta support the Hawks as long as they are in it. New England sure is the team to beat, but who knows. Stranger things have happened in the world of sports.
Big Lo at Qwest Field
Dallas Cowboys, 13-4
Green Bay Packers 14-3
Indianapolis Colts 13-4
Jacksonville Jaguars 12-6
New England Patriots 18-1 Superbowl
New York Giants 13-6 Superbowl, Winner
San Diego Chargers 13-6
Seattle Seahawks 11-7
None of these, I still like my own team best
Who would you like see win.
Not who you think is going to win.
Just post who you are pulling for and why.
I'm pulling for the hometown Seahawks.
I'm pulling for them, and if they lose along the way, then I will be needing reasons why I should pull for your team.

Cass knows,
I grew up with a football team that was mediocre at best.
Now they're breaking NFL all time records, the word "dynasty" is used to reference them...this is vindication.
Funny, after the first bowl win it seemed like sports media circles still didn't want to acknowledge them, even after the second...now it's a strange feeling to see my home team on top and hearing words like "unbeatable" in reference to them.
"The biggest regrets we have in life are the chances we never took."
Yes The pats hold the Super Bowl record for being the team that lost by the most points.
They were mediocre at best, for a long time.

I would love to see Americas Team in there for the win i have been a Cowboys fan since I was a kid, but I know that the Boyz don't stand a chance against the Pats. My heart say the Boyz but the smart money bets on the Pats! They are that good!
I'm looking forward to the day the Cowboys trade their owner! He's an idiot that could screw up a... nevermind!
Last edited by Redwood; 01-06-2008 at 09:22 PM.
my heart says G-men (Eli - no interceptions or fumbles?!?), but my head says Pats ....
So what's the schedule?
Any monday/thursday night games or will these playoffs all be played on the weekends.
Figuring we're into the second week of january and they always have two weeks off before the superbowl to market hype products/advertising to the 9's.........
Personally it doesn't matter who wins, I just want to see football games that are hang onto your seat till the end kinda games.
No blowouts, those are no fun to watch.
Read what the end of this sentence means.
I'm sure I could regret saying this Rugged, but I agree...this past season for the Pats had a few boring games, there were a few "edge of the seat" ones too.
Win, lose or draw, I agree in full...nothing compares to the suspense of a great football game.
"The biggest regrets we have in life are the chances we never took."
Here is a newspaper photo of one of my mother's Seahawks posters.

perhaps I am wrong, but as of this weekend
all the colts are supposed to be healed up
and ready to go....
we wait and we see
I hate to say this but only people from Texas consider the cowboys america's team. The Patriots are lucky they are not disqualified from the play offs when they got caught cheating. The real American team is the Green Bay Packers. Steeped in tradition, owned by the people and a team with good midwestern values. It is a young team that has come a long way, as a team, with the leader of the Pack and who also is sportsman of the year. You will not find a better human being than Brett Favre. That includes his wife and both of them do more for those in need than anyone else I know of. Hope this helps Terry to make up his mind on who to vote for when Seattle loses in Green Bay this saturday! ( I hope lol)
I could not have said it better myself.....
its sort of an ugly thing when coaches have to cover their mouths so their words are not read when they
play the Patriots....
and you got to be sure they dont have spies watching
your team practice...
they should have had some stiff penalties thrown at them....
but I guess you do what you got to do...... to win.
The coach and team were fined, this is what they got...I am guessing it wasn't worse because it was the first game...they lose wether they made it to the playoffs or not.
The National Football League has fined the New England Patriots coach, Bill Belichick, $500,000 and the team will forfeit its first-round draft pick in 2008 if it makes the playoffs, for violating league rules on Sunday when a Patriots staff member was discovered videotaping signals by New York Jets coaches during the season opener.
Also, the NFL said Thursday, the Patriots will be fined $250,000. If they fail to make the playoffs, they will forfeit their second- and third-round picks in 2008.
Last edited by Cass; 01-09-2008 at 04:51 AM.
All things said.
For years as the Pats struggled I'd say things like "As long as they make this a good game, I'll be happy.".
Friends would sometimes make a crack like "Thats lame, I want them to win.".
I'll say this...
As long as the Pats make the playoff games good ones, I'll be happy.
Belechick didn't need the edge when he pulled that stunt, certainly not with the team he has, he paid a price for it.
Tomorrow night, 8pm..Jaguars..as long as it's a good game, I'm happy.

KILLINGLY — The crowd was small in number but big on sentiment at a Veterans Day program held Sunday at Davis Park in Danielson.
Frank Boyle, who was an Air Force staff sergeant in Operation Desert Storm, said there was nothing more important than celebrating the lives of those who fought — and still fight — for Americans' freedom.
"Freedom is not free," Boyle said. "The ones that don't come back are the real heroes. That's what this is all about."
The rain held off just long enough for the 30-minute ceremony, which included a performance by the Killingly High School band.
Prayers and thanks went out to all veterans, those who are currently serving in the military and their families.
"If it wasn't for these men and women, we wouldn't be here today," said Patricia Duff, of Killingly, who was there with her husband, Al, who served as a Navy electrician aboard the USS Sperry and the USS Horner between 1975 and 1979.
Al Duff was a guest speaker at Sunday's event and said before it started that he had hoped for a better tunout.
"It would be nice if people took a little bit on time out of their day … to come out and celebrate with the veterans," Duff said. "The men and women who step up to protect this country deserve to be honored on this day."
He said it's an important message to those who may take what they have for granted.
"Future generations really need to learn and understand what veterans have done over the years, and why we have a free country," Duff said.
Referencing the bombing at last year's Boston Marathon, Duff said the country needs to be wary and protect itself.
"We have cowardly terrorists throughout this world," he said. "We need a strong military presence."
Duff also talked about the need for state and federal governments to step up and take care of veterans who are struggling with homelessness.
"We have way too many veterans that are still living on the street," he said.
Sunday's event culminated with a rifle salute.

Diabetes And Endometrial Cancer RiskPosted: Thursday, March 20, 2008
Women with type 2 diabetes had a 70 percent greater likelihood of developing endometrial cancer, study findings suggest.
Type 2 diabetes is associated with cancer of the lining of the uterus (endometrial cancer), regardless of the presence of most other risk factors, study findings suggest.
"A positive association has been observed in nearly all studies of type 2 diabetes in relation to the incidence of endometrial cancer," Dr. Babette S. Saltzman, of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, Washington, and colleagues note in the American Journal of Epidemiology.
"Given the adverse effect of obesity on the incidence of both diabetes and endometrial cancer, investigators have adjusted for obesity in a number of these studies," they note. "To varying degrees, all found that diabetes was independently associated with endometrial cancer."
To investigate further, Saltzman and colleagues looked at whether the risk of endometrial cancer among type 2 diabetic women differs with respect to other risk factors for endometrial cancer using information obtained in three population-based case-control studies conducted in western Washington State during 1985 to 1999. The studies included 1303 women with endometrial cancer and 1779 without.
Women with type 2 diabetes had a 70 percent greater likelihood of developing endometrial cancer, they found.
Diabetes was associated with endometrial cancer among women who were lean, overweight and moderately obese. Women with diabetes and a history of hypertension (high blood pressure) were also at increased risk for endometrial cancer.
This study, write the researchers, demonstrates that type 2 diabetes is associated with endometrial cancer irrespective of the presence of other risk factors, "except possibly hypertension and extreme obesity."

The Awamaki Women's Cooperative Program will provide capacity-building workshops to five different groups of women weavers, knitters, spinners and seamstresses. The women will receive trainings in product development, design, natural dye techniques, quality control and administration; an education that will empower them to create products of a standard suitable for export and thereby decrease their dependency on an over-saturated and seasonal tourism market.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Economic opportunities for women in Peru's Sacred Valley are limited, do not pay well, and are based exclusively on a tenuous and seasonal tourism market. Moreover, local artisans must battle against a market increasingly saturated with cheap, mass-produced souvenirs, where the cultural tradition and rare quality of hand-made goods are too often under-valued. Women with little secondary education and limited professional mobility face few opportunities to overcome these issues.
How will this project solve this problem?
Awamaki meets with groups of weavers, spinners, knitters and seamstresses on a regular basis, providing capacity-building workshops and trainings in product development, quality control, natural dye techniques and administration. In 2012 our focus is on standardizing many of our products in order that they meet international export standards, offering our artisans the opportunity to secure more avenues of sale and reduce their reliance on the tourism market.
Potential Long Term Impact
Through their participation in the Womens' Cooperatives Program, women artisans have access to professional guidance and education that they can utilize to improve their product. Ultimately they gain a sustainable source of income that enables them to better care for their families' needs, as well as affording them a great degree of financial independence.
Funding Information
Total Funding Received to Date: $10,654
Remaining Goal to be Funded: $3,346
Total Funding Goal: $14,000

i don't get it, why did i get -2 rep for this?
Someone downvoted your answer because they thought it was not helpful or incorrect. Downvoting incurs a 2 point penalty to the poster and a 1 point penalty to the voter.
Your answer was probably downvoted because it simply says "do this" without providing any explanation or context. Even if it did help the original author solve his problem (as evidenced by the accept), it is really not going to be very helpful to the typical Google visitor.
In the future, I suggest putting a little more detail into your answers - i.e., explain where that exception is to be thrown and why. Your comment reply (on your own answer) explains some of this; that information should have gone in the answer itself.

Navy Airman Erik R. Lamoy, son of Leslie Valenze of Lake Placid, and Ernie Lamoy, of Lake Placid, along with 500 sailors and Marines assigned to the Enterprise Carrier Strike Group recently arrived in Norfolk, Va, following a seven-and-a-half-month deployment supporting operations in the Mediterranean and the Arabian Seas.
The U.S.S. Enterprise's return to Norfolk will be the 25th and final homecoming in her 51 years of distinguished service. The aircraft carrier is scheduled to be inactivated Dec. 1, in a ceremony at Norfolk Naval Station.
While deployed, Enterprise CSG served in the U.S. 5th and 6th Fleet areas of responsibility, conducting maritime security operations, theater security cooperation efforts and missions in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
During her 238 days away from Norfolk, "Big E," as Enterprise is affectionately known, safely steamed 80, 968 miles and Carrier Air Wing 1, flew more than 8, 000 sorties in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and exercises in the 5th and 6th Fleet AORs.
The December inactivation ceremony will be the last official public event for Enterprise, and will serve as a celebration of life for the ship and the more than 100, 000 Sailors who have served aboard the ship.

Saints Set to Defend PBC Tournament Championship
Download Bracket | Tournament Website
Following the conclusion of regular-season play on Sunday
afternoon, the Peach Belt Conference released the bracket for the
2009 Baseball Tournament May 9-10 on the Campus of USC Aiken.
North Georgia will compete in their second-ever Peach Belt Conference Baseball Tournament, as the Saints will look to repeat as Tournament Champions, entering the tournament as the #4 seed for the second consecutive year.
In a change from previous years, the PBC Tournament will be a single-elimination competition that brings together the top eight teams in the league. All eight will play on Saturday at Roberto Hernandez Stadium in Aiken, with the final four winners playing in the semifinals and championship on Sunday.
USC Aiken finished as the regular season champion and will be the top seed, while Francis Marion is #2, GCSU is #3, and North Georgis is #4. Armstrong Atlantic claimed the 5th seed with a weekend sweep of Lander, while UNC Pembroke is #6, Columbus State is #7, and Augusta State used series victory over GCSU in the final weekend of the season to sneak in as the #8 team.
The Saints will oppose Armstrong Atlantic State University Saturday afternoon at 4:00 p.m., the third game of the day in the opening round of the tournament. In the regular season, North Georgia hosted the Pirates and took two out of three from AASU, taking game one 13-1, before Brad Hall sent the stadium into eruption with a walk-off homer in game two, a 15-13 thriller in 12 innings. In the series finale, Armstrong jumped on top 11-2, before holding on for a 14-12 victory.
Armstrong Atlantic led the all-time series 5-4 coming into the 2009 season, a series that is now deadlocked 6-6 between the two clubs. In each of the last three seasons, North Georgia has taken game one of every series with the Pirates.
The Saints are on a streak that has seen them win eight of their last nine games, and throw four shutouts in eight of those contests. North Georgia will look to continue another streak that has seen the club win six straight games at Roberto Hernandez Stadium dating back to a 10-9 victory over GCSU in 10-innings in the second round of the 2008 PBC Tournament. The Saints would win two more games to take the championship, before sweeping the Pacers at USC Aiken to open the 2009 Peach Belt Conference schedule.
The winner between North Georgia and Armstrong Atlantic will advance to Chamionhip Sunday to a semifinal matchup between the winner of crosstown rivals #1 USC Aiken and #8 Augusta State.
The Saints will charter a bus and leave campus Friday morning for Aiken, South Carolina, in preparation for the 11th annual Peach Belt Conference Baseball Tournament Championship. The winner of the PBC Tournament will receive the PBC's automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament.

Stuck in an emergency and need a helping hand? With FlexCredit, you'll get a fast decision, so you'll be able to free up your finances quickly.
Need repairs doing and can't wait any longer? A flexible loan could be one way to get them done now. Spread the expense over a period of time that suits you.
You'll also get more options to apply with FlexCredit, as the lenders we work with offer a range of 12 month loans, flex loans and instalment loans (from 3 months through to 18 months). So you can apply for what you need and choose the best repayment schedule for you. You can also opt to include more short term options as well, if that's an approach that would work for you. FlexCredit is designed to make applying as straightforward as possible, and we don't charge you anything for the application
If you're approved, a repayment schedule will be set up based on the dates you get paid. It'll be designed to split your loan up into more manageable chunks. As well as that, with most lenders you'll have the option to pay back early.
All the lenders we work with allow you to repay as soon as you wish – even the first month you take out the loan. And you'll only repay the interest that's been earned up until that point. All you have to do is contact your lender when you want to do it. If you spread the loan out, you'll pay more in interest, but you'll have smaller monthly repayments. Many of our customers choose this option because they find it easier to manage. The important thing, from our point of view, is that it offers you more choice and flexibility when you apply.
Also, because we work with so many lenders, you may stand a higher chance of being approved by applying with FlexCredit than if you apply directly to a lender. Even better, we won't take any longer in getting a decision to you! If you apply with us, you'll get a decision within minutes in most cases.
If you're accepted, you'll be sent a complete breakdown of how much your repayments will be. Because they vary by lender, and also depending on your personal circumstances and how long you are taking the loan out for, we can't give you a full breakdown in advance – however, the lender will send you the information before you agree to the loan. So if it's not right for you, you'll be under no obligations.
*Not all of our lenders offer same day service and we do not guarantee you will be accepted for a loan.

Blake Schoenrock
Funny, hard working
Published: Wednesday, September 5, 2012
Updated: Wednesday, September 5, 2012 16:09
Blake Matthew Schoenrock grew up in Mesquite, but made his way to College Station as soon as he could.
"From the time Blake started looking for a college to go to, A&M was his first choice," said Randy Schoenrock, Blake's father,. "When he got accepted, he was extremely excited."
While at Texas A&M, Blake attended Grace Bible Church.
"Blake was a Christian and extremely proud of his faith," said Garrett Chapman his friend of 15 years and junior finance major. "He was always willing to tell about God and loved him very much."
Chapman said Blake was probably one of the funniest people he ever met.
"He was so easy to get along with. People who met him for the first time would instantly be captivated by his personality and humor," Chapman said.
Chapman said the most memorable experience he had with Blake while at A&M was at the A&M-Nebraska game at Kyle Field on Nov. 20, 2010.
"Our seats were on the field level, row 1, on about the 5 yard line. During the game President Loftin came by and shook our hands and took a picture with Blake," Chapman said. "When the Aggies won, Blake and I went out on the field, did the 'War Hymn' with the football players, and afterwards, Blake did a chest bump with Ozoma Nwachukwu. We talked about that night being one of our favorite Aggie experiences."
Another friend of Blake's, junior fellow petroleum engineering major Carter Henderson, remembers Blake's hard work and motivation at A&M.
"Blake was one of my three roommates last semester and there wasn't a day that went by without laughing," Henderson said. "Some of my best memories with Blake were going to the A&M football games last year."
Henderson said Blake gave his all in everything he did, whether it was sports, school, family or friends.
"My friendship with Blake was unique because we were so similar. We were always working toward our goals," Henderson said. "We both worked very hard in school and we had big dreams of making an impact in this world."
It was two weeks before Blake had a heart attack that he completed his first triathlon.
"After last summer, he started swimming a lot. He enjoyed doing that," Randy said. "He raced down in Kema right before finals."
Randy said one of the things that helped them through this time is the Aggie saying, "Gig 'em."
"For us, that has come to mean God is God every moment. While we were in the hospital that was just something we said a lot. When you go through something like that, for us, God was who we leaned on," Randy said.
Randy said they have a very strong church family and that Blake demonstrated that well.
"He had a go for it attitude. He was a godly man. And, he just brought a lot of joy to our lives," Randy said.

Ouidah, Benin
African waist beads are nicknamed "sexy beads" by Peace Corps volunteers because they are worn by women on the hips underneath clothing as a way to seduce husbands. Seeing a person's beads in Benin is equivalent to seeing someone's thong in America. Different culture, different ways of being sexy. (There are other meanings and histories to these beads if you are interested here: http://africaisdonesuffering.com/2013/02/waist-beads/ ) On the other hand, infants (boys and girls) up to a year old wear them with their diapers so you can always see those, but those have no sexual connotation (of course!)
The fabric I used were secondhand sheets from a Beninese "thrift shop" AKA mounds of old clothing thrown away from developed countries piled on the side of a street.
Because I noticed the Laurel fits loosely on me, I omitted the zipper and added a bit of smocked beading from dress #11 of "I am Cute Dresses" by Sato Watanabe.
I love this version, however I am unhappy with how the hem "turns inward" where there is beading. I wrote more in my sewing journal here: http://cathywu.com/journal/treadling/2013/04/25/sexy-beads-colette-laurel-i-am-tiny-tucks/

Longtime WFAA news anchor John McCaa will give the Sammons Lecture in Media Ethics this fall.
John McCaa is a familiar face to television viewers in North Texas. He has worked at WFAA-TV in Dallas since 1984, where he anchors the 6 and 10 p.m. newscasts and writes "Behind the News," a weekly column for the station's website.
A "military brat" who grew up in Idaho, Nebraska and Spain, McCaa began his career at WOWT-TV in Omaha, where he spent seven years working as a reporter and anchor. He joined WFAA as a reporter in the Fort Worth newsroom and was later promoted to bureau chief. He was transferred to the Dallas newsroom as a reporter, then became weekend anchor and news manager, and also served as co-anchor for the 5 p.m. newscast.
McCaa has reported on Texas stories, national stories – including 9/11 and the John F. Kennedy, Jr., plane crash – and internationally from Rome, Hong Kong and Honduras. He has won numerous local Katy and Emmy awards, and has served as president of the Press Club of Dallas and of the Dallas-Fort Worth Association of Black Communicators.
McCaa earned a bachelor's degree in journalism and mass communication from Creighton University in Omaha, and a master's degree in politics from the University of Dallas. He is currently working on a Ph.D. in the history of ideas at UTD.
The Rosine Smith Sammons Lecture Series in Media Ethics is funded by a generous endowment from the Rosine Foundation Fund of the Communities Foundation of Texas, at the recommendation of Mary Anne Sammons Cree of Dallas. The series is named in honor of her mother, Rosine Smith Sammons, who graduated from SMU in the 1920s with a degree in journalism. The endowment will provide permanent resources for the Meadows School of the Arts to present annual lectures focusing on media ethics.
The Division of Journalism, under Belo Distinguished Chair Tony Pederson, offers concentrations in all media – broadcast, print and Internet – through its convergence journalism program. With the help of a gift from The Belo Foundation, the Division has become one of the few journalism schools in the country to provide hands-on experience through a new digital newsroom, television studio and website.

We are going to be shorthanded this year and we will have much more going on than normal, so I'm facing the perfect storm.

I will be happy to reimburse volunteers with merchandise, membership extensions, and/or banquet tickets, etc, etc. We'll work out a deal! I will have more info as the event draws near, but if you are willing to help out, we could really use you!

FORTUNE -- Last week, more than 1,200 people walked into an armory to be enlisted. But they were not there to join the military. They were there to be conscripted into a different American tradition: the boom and bust business cycle. They had come for the Silicon Alley Talent Fair. About 150 employers were waiting to induct them.
Three months ago, the idea for this jobs fair didn't yet exist. It was only created after another fair sold out, leaving dozens of companies on the outside looking in, upset they didn't have the same shot at talent as their competitors. But as so often happens with outcasts, they banded together, organizing a jobs fair of their own, this one far more inclusive for employers and recruits alike. Soon thereafter, they'd sold 1,200 tickets at a $10 face value, (Update: 1,100 tickets sold was the final count, with some going for as low as $5 thanks to coupon codes.) and coaxed many of the big and buzzy New York startups to buy tables. MeetUp, Canvas, bit.ly, Sonar, VYou, and others were there, looking for fresh blood.
To review: that's two job fairs in three months, featuring nearly 200 startups combined, all of them looking to hire 3,000 miles away from Silicon Valley. It is time to stop looking for indicators of a tech bubble. We're not going to get one better than that. More

When Wisconsin's Ben Brust hit the shot of the Big Ten season Feb. 9, a running 3-pointer at the buzzer from nearly half-court to take Michigan into overtime, Mike Weinstein reacted like so many others inside the Kohl Center.
Weinstein's mouth dropped in amazement. His hands gripped his head.
"I couldn't believe that kid just did that,'' Weinstein said, speaking for the entire Midwest.
Many witnesses described Brust's 45-footer in the Wisconsin overtime victory as something they never had seen before — except Weinstein had. He was one of the few fans who had been Brust-proofed, which is why Brust's clutch 3-pointer with 40 seconds left in overtime impressed Weinstein more. Back when Weinstein owned Joy of the Game gym in Deerfield and coached the point guard on the Rising Stars AAU team, Brust drove his coach nuts practicing the impractical until it stopped seeming so crazy.
"Ben's a gym rat so before or after workouts he would fire up half-court shots and I would be like, 'What are you doing?' '' Weinstein said. "What do you know, eventually he developed a knack for making those.''
A major-college long shot no more, the skinny, 6-foot-1 kid from Mundelein High leads Wisconsin back to his hometown this week for the Big Ten tournament. The fourth-seeded Badgers and Brust, coach Bo Ryan's second-leading scorer and most well-rounded player, will play Friday afternoon against Thursday's Michigan-Penn State winner — potentially giving the Wolverines a chance to avenge Brust's heroics. It promises to be the most fun Brust has had at 1901 W. Madison since the 2002 day when his dad surprised him with tickets to Michael Jordan's return as a Washington Wizard.
"That was my biggest memory of the United Center,'' Brust said. "I love going to Bulls and Blackhawks games. This will be special because it will be in front of so many family and friends.''
Besides improving Wisconsin's NCAA tournament seed, cutting down the nets Sunday would allow Brust to complete the arc from tragedy to triumph during an arduous junior year.
It was 8:30 p.m. on Sept. 10 when Anthony Brust, Ben's 21-year-old cousin, died in a motorcycle accident in Long Grove. Two weeks earlier, Ben took his car into the shop where Anthony, a mechanic, fixed his brakes and provided the family discount. A NASCAR fanatic, Ben helped Anthony in the garage that day and cherishes the memory of their final time together.
"I think of him every day,'' Brust said. "It reminds me to take nothing for granted. Nothing is guaranteed. Everything I've taken from that has shaped me into the person and player I am today. It was a rough period.''
Stephen Brust believes it was rougher on his brother because Ben is the youngest of four and "stuff affects him more.'' Naturally, Ben coped by leaning on his parents, siblings and cousins. What he didn't realize was how many of those family members, over time, would find the same strength watching him play.
"Ben being out there on the court maybe has been a good thing for the family because everybody can see his games on TV and the cousins are so proud,'' Stephen said. "I've noticed more of the cousins saying, 'I love you, miss you.' When you lose someone that age who's close to you, it hits you hard.''
As Ben bounced back, it didn't surprise Weinstein that he channeled frayed emotions into focused basketball. He remembers Brust scoring 40 points as a Mundelein sophomore hours after seeing his grandmother on her deathbed. He saw Brust break his right tibia in January of his junior prep season, which stalled recruiting, yet recover in time to impress colleges on the AAU circuit in April. He watched Brust stay positive despite controversy surrounding his release from a national letter of intent from Iowa after the school fired coach Todd Lickliter in March 2010, which paved a long, winding road to Wisconsin.
"He has really matured as a man,'' Weinstein said. "Adversity comes, knocks him down and he keeps going forward.''
That's the beauty of growing up with two older brothers, right? The range Ben shows in gyms from Madison, Wis., to Lincoln, Neb., started developing with not-so-slight nudges on the Brust family driveway.
"Jonathan and I would stand out in front of a line and say, 'You can't shoot from in front of us,' so he would keep backing up as far as he could and got good from there,'' Stephen said. "Then he'd come home after school telling my mom how he cried after gym class because people would say he was showing off and he was just shooting the ball normally.''
Some days, Brust's shooting still can bring people to tears. But these days the only ones complaining are Wisconsin opponents.

Professor: S. Beebe Day/Time: TR 12:30-1:50 Location: CEN 206
Course Description: This course examines the writing and life of C.S. Lewis from the standpoint of communication theory and practice.

Professor: R. Haas Day/Time: W 6:30-9:20 Location: LAMP 501
Course Description:
Is America an "exceptional" country? Does it have a special role to play in world affairs? The hotly debated theory of "American exceptionalism" holds that the American people and the American polity are fundamentally "different," and that this distinctiveness, furthermore, is related to America's unique status as a "city upon a hill." Proponents of American exceptionalism maintain that its vision and ideals continue to inspire the best in our national traditions. To most of the rest of the world, however, the theory of "American exceptionalism" is not only egocentric and self-serving, but downright dangerous. Since 9/11 and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, there seems to be a steady rise in European and global anti-Americanism, both in its most virulent form—terrorism—and in its more common and widespread expressions. In this interdisciplinary course in the history of ideas, we will investigate the history of both "American Exceptionalism" and "Anti-Americanism" from the European colonization of the New World up to the present in order to gain a deeper understanding of America's position in the world and the love-hate relationship between America and the rest.

This week-end I read Clo Willaerts' book named 'The Conversity model (making money w social media)'. Especially the last part I found very interesting. It's about the Innovation part of the conversity model. The preliminary stages in the book are Observation, Conversation and Conversion.
Inside SonicAngel, we're struggling to find the right way to have a transparant project management tool, an internal social network (of a social intranet), and a more efficient way to share information on ongoing projects. It's a typical sign when you pass 10 employees. Below '10′, most information passes informally. You kind of know everything of everybody. Sharing happens via talking. It's fairly simple to organise the flow. Plus the interaction and dialogue happens a lot via talking.
However, we're in a phase of pretty steep growth. To give you an example: yesterday we had 3 people in Los Angeles, 1 in Paris, 1 in Chicago and the others in Belgium.
In a few months, this will be our operational overview:
- we'll have operations in 5 countries
- we'll have over 30 artists or bands that are part of the SonicAngel roster
- we'll have to manage thousands of new or returning fans that invested in artists
- we have to optimise the 5 ranges of activities
- we'll have an additional agency focussing on the brand and music opportunities
- we'll have hundres of concerts and festivals across 8 countries
and so on …
That creates a lot of interdependency.
We initially tried Yammer as a tool. Although the tool is great, it didn't work a lot for us. Actually, I don't think we're ready for it. There was some updating and information sharing, but the tool did not really 'live' inside the company. It was used sporadically. It didn't serve the organisatonal needs. And that is the requirement number 1 that we need in our company right now!
I'm pretty impressed by what Zoho offers. But I tend to lean to basecamp as a default operational management tool. More about that in the coming days.
But what I wanted to say about Clo's book. It's has one 'overview' part, which talks about the SWOT's of the different social networks, and how they related to social media. Then she talks about the 4 stages of conversity. I don't think there is ever 1 book that gives an answer, but this one framed my needs and questions better. Especially related to innovating, on social CRM, on lead generation and on waving the streams of social media inside the company.
